  1. Bought a neck from Lewis. Arrived as described, quickly and in bulletproof packaging. Great communication and a pleasure to deal with throughout. Can't ask for any more than that. Thanks again Lewis. Cheers Dunc
  2. Don't need to sell it now. Found out it's more than loud enough for my needs with the right cab. Decided to strip the tolex and refurb too. Not had this long and fully intended on keeping it. Unfortunately, need to move it on. In good condition for it's age but far from cosmetically perfect. Recently had a £100 service and a clean bill of health. Runs at 8 Ohm. Lovely amp for both bass and guitar. Just acquired a pair of Ashdown 2x8 cabs and so looking for a tube driven (hybrid tube preamp is fine)head 500w plus. Ashdown or Orange. Try me. Collection from Blackburn BB22SH or would post at buyers risk and cost. If interested in postage please PM to discuss options. May be able to meet up. Pics to follow.
  3. Bought a Vamp from Gary. Great guy to deal with. Everything went very smoothly and overall a pleasant experience. The Vamp arrived lightening fast and well packaged for its journey. Have ne fear he's one of BC's good guys! Thanks again Gary. Cheers Dunc
  4. Someone's stolen his knobs. Supposed to be brass. Wish he would sell me the trussrod cover. Been looking for one for mine for ages.
  5. I'm a sucker for tweed and Oly white. Looks good!
  6. I have 2 of these so one can go. Both fully functional and in good but gigged condition. One has a bit of a scuff on the screen but does not affect its functionality £45. Trades / trade - Bass synth Tech 21, Ampeg DI, Fly Rig Alesis Midiverb 3 or 4 Prefer a trade... Or something similar. Cash adjustment accordingly. Pics to follow
  7. Thanks for the input. I may have solved it. Schoolboy error ? What's the odds on having 3 dodgy leads in a chain of 3 pedals? Changed all them and the level is far better using the line out. DI is much lower. Alex from BF got back rapid to my email and gave me a link for some software to turn the gains up in the cab. Hopefully, when that's done, I should be able to ditch the tube emulator and keep a simpler setup. Could probably do that anyway but can't test it yet as the Mrs is working from home and all noise must cease... Cow ? Hopefully its all solved at no cost. But now I've got GAS for a fly rig or an SCR Di. Ummmm... I've got to say though that the FR800 sounds brilliant. I'm really surprised with the BD121 too. Maybe I should just get a spare BD and save quite a bit of cash?
  8. I think I'll start by contacting Alex but keep those ideas coming please!
  9. Confused post. Sleep needed ? Currenty using a little Ashdown combo which suits all my needs but Ive been trying to sort out a larger bass rig for a new project. Differing problems have arisen and money is always tight around Christmas. After much thought and anguish, the penny dropped! I have a pair of BF800's and although they are the PA in most scenario's, I could use one with a preamp as a combo as, if anything that loud is needed, there would be further PA support anyway. Is anyone doing this with auccess? If so, what preamp are you using? How do you wire it all? I've linked a BD121 via the line out and by DI but not as much volume as expected with a passive Jazz bass. I then added a tube amp simulator pedal to the chain which gave it far more. Still not as loud as I would have expected but haven't turned it up full as I'd rather be 100% sure I'm not making a schoolboy error! I really don't want to harm the BF's... I suspect that the BD doesn't have enough output? If that's the case could anyone recommend a decent preamp Di that would suit? Maybe someone has been using an Ampeg or Tech 21 which is the sort of sound I'm hoping for. However, I could theoretically use the line out on the Mibass head perhaps? But if guitarists would use in ears, I would ditch my rig completely! Thanks...
  10. Daft question I suppose but does that include the tuners, string tree and screws?
  11. Let me borrow it indefinitely! Seriously though, I'd love this but unfortunately I'm skint. Bet when I eventually get paid its well gone! GLWTS.
  12. Obviously with his experience, he is a well accomplished player. I've always thought that it does not matter how "technically" proficient any bassist or musician is. It's all about, what is right for the song. Love him or hate him, Sting consistently does what is right for the music he plays. Hats off to that man!
  13. .Great little lightweight combo, suit rehearsals and live. Easy one hand lift. No doubt you could take this and your bass on the bus or train. Mostly used it as a stage monitor alongside a live kit, 2 guitarists, 4 vocals. With PA support, it didn't even reach half volume. More than loud enough for rehearsals and smallish gigs (played to a 200 crowd with it when the promised PA didn't turn up). Detachable head. Good but gigged condition. A couple of little screws are missing from the faceplate. It was like that when I got it and causes no issues. No cover. Buyer to arrange their own insured courier or will post at cost at buyers risk. Pickup from BB22SH preferred or may be able to meet up.
  14. Had the same rig a while back. I found mine to be loud enough for any venue. Its very loud. Very loud! Great little setup.
  15. I sold Vin my Epiphone Sheraton. Nice easy transaction. No messing about and an amicable meet up too. Have no fears, Vin is a gent. Thanks again Vin. Cheers Dunc

    Bought a P body from Mark. Arrived as described and quickly. Can't go wrong really. Thanks again Mark. Cheers Dunc
  17. Hopefully the profanity filter will kick in here. Lets be honest lads, it's flicking absolutely bastard bollocks and crap stinky poo Knob rot rubbish. Ummm the filter appears to be faulty? Sorry...

  19. Ringer for my JV apart from I've changed the plate to black. Best Precision I've ever played. The necks are great and they balance perfectly. Mine weighs about the same too. Great solution for someone with a bad back or shoulder. Someone will be very happy. GLWTS
  20. If the kids misbehaved in the car, I used to put Flowers of Romance album on. It ensured a quiet journey after that! ? Great album but they really didn't appreciate it!
  21. Kept all my vinyl from the punk days. Unfortunately, some guy who I let stay with me stole some but the vast majority is still in the loft and I've no deck!
